Sunday night, Clarksville residents and neighbors helped clean up debris and salvage what they can after strong storms rumbled through the region Saturday evening.
Friends and neighbors are here rolling up their sleeves helping in any way they can.
Whit Story lives in the Farmington subdivision, which was one of the hardest hit areas.
“It's been going since sunup. Nobody hesitated to come out here,” said Story. “It makes me feel wonderful. It's a great thing that's happened out of Mother Nature’s devastation. I've even had little kids as high as my knee coming and picking up debris.”
Heavy equipment and machinery worked to clear the heavy debris, and volunteers did the rest.
Donald Batiste was one of the hundreds of volunteers who came to lend a helping hand.
“We’ve dumped everything that's on the street into dumpsters,” he explained. “You got kids, you got adults, you got preschoolers, and everybody is helping. In the world where there's a lot of bad, there's still a lot of good that we don't talk about as much. This would be the good.”
The National Weather Service in Nashville confirms two tornados touched down in the area Saturday night.
